At minimum, tactics like this enlist satisfied customers to become brand spokespeople at a very personal, very powerful level. At best, the micro-celebrity and shared value covenant created by tactical campaigns like this have exactly the channel and the horsepower to help brands produce and proliferate that tremendously valuable word of mouth endorsement which really is the juice we want clients to get when marketing in the social environment. Great example, Colleen.

Yes, even Macy's (where I saw the Estee Lauder promo event) is getting in on the Twitter and Facebook action. Just plastering links to your Twitter and Facebook accounts isn't enough. You've got to be creative about your use of social media: http://socialmediamentoring.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/IMG_1134.jpg Thanks for commenting, George.

We run networking groups, and I think we will ask our attendees to go to our photo galleries on Facebook and tag themselves, too. Excellent idea!

As social media becomes more and more commonplace in our everyday lives businesses and marketers must come up with unique approaches to get people to pay attention to their efforts and messages. Only the most creative angles will succeed! Cori,

Businesses can truly engage people in social media - and promote their products/services - when they offer prospects real value. I recently heard an example of how a local music society promoted its Facebook page without ever asking people to become a fan. They took pictures of attendees at an event and posted them on Facebook. Attendees were encouraged to visit the page and tag themselves. As people went online to find and tag their photos, all their friends became aware of the music society's page. Another smart move like Estee Lauder. Thanks for sharing this example!
